Politico: Senate Democrats vent anger with Barack Obama

You really can't make this stuff up. Politico reports that after getting solidly spanked in the midterms for their liberal-progressive agenda and Obama's far-left, highly partisan, ideological-based, agenda (my wording, not Politico's) - the Dems want Obama to be "less bipartisan" and communicate more.

[...] In interviews after the marathon three hour meeting, several senators and senior aides told POLITICO that Nelson was just one of several senators to express anger at White House missteps -- and air deep concerns about their own political fates if Obama and the Democratic Party leadership cant turn things around by 2012.

Added one veteran senator: "It was the most frank exchange of views I've ever seen."

Several senators expressed the opinion that Obama needed to show more passion, while party liberals renewed their complaint that Obama should abandon the pretense of bipartisanship in the face of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's intransigence and what they consider the Kentucky Republican's blatantly political tactics aimed at making Obama a one-term president.

Others said Democratic leaders need to clearly spell out what they believe are the motivations behind the Republicans' positions: that they are beholden to special interests, who bankroll their campaigns.

If Democrats keep losing the message war, they worry, they will be wiped out in 2012.

This would be laughable were it not for the damage the Democrats have wrought on the nation in just 2 years.

The Dems continue to be totally oblivious to the fact that Obama has never stopped yacking and the more he talks the less people like him (Obama had given 54 speeches on Obamacare by March 19 and the approval of both him and Obamacare tanked). The problem is not a communication issue - the American people fully "get it" - the problem now and always has been from his first day in office - Obama and the Dems' far-Left socialist, anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-freedom, anti-American values, agenda. Period!
